69 Exchange is a building in the HD Universe that appears in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Description
The building is located on half a city block bordered by Columbus Avenue, Calcium Street and Amsterdam Lane at the northwest corner of The Exchange near City Hall and Chinatown.
The building usage is ambiguous, with the name indicating it is likely to house stock brokers, while there is an ATM visible in the window textures indicating possible banking or other financial institution usage. However this window texture is re-used from other buildings in the area so may not be an indication of the intended building content.
Influence
It is an adapted reproduction of the Equitable Building in Manhattan, with similar but toned down setbacks on the facade on three sides of the building facing streets. As a result, 69 Exchange's tower does not follow the Equitable Building's "H" design, but one more like a "K". The building is further reused and placed in the eastern edge of Star Junction (with a "Brawls: Liberty City" frontage).
The name of the building is another of Rockstar Games' 69 references.
